Medications for Bipolar Bipolar Disorder SYMPTOMS Bipolar disorder is often not recognized by the patient, relatives, friends, or even physicians. An early sign of manic-depressive illness may be hypomaniaa state in which the person shows a high level of energy, excessive moodiness or irritability, and impulsive or reckless behavior. Hypomania may feel good to the person who experiences it. Thus, even when family and friends learn to recognize the mood swings, the individual often will deny that anything is wrong. In its early stages, bipolar disorder may masquerade as a problem other than mental illness. For example, it may first appear as alcohol or drug abuse, or poor school or work performance. If left untreated, bipolar disorder tends to worsen, and the person experiences episodes of full-fledged mania and clinical depression. One of the usual differential diagnoses for bipolar disorder is that the symptoms (listed below) are not better accounted for by Schizoaffective Disorder and is not superimposed on Schizophrenia Schizophreniform Disorder Delusional Disorder , or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified And as with nearly all mental disorder diagnoses, the symptoms of manic depression must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

The Psychopharmacology of Bipolar Disorder by Peter M. Brigham, MD Please note: the URL for this page has changed to http://home.comcast.net/~pmbrig/BP_pharm.html (click to go to the relevant section) Introduction Diagnosis DSM-4 diagnostic criteria Differential diagnosis and comorbid factors ... Cyclothymia Introduction I highly recommend the Expert Consensus Guidelines on Bipolar Disorder (2000) . Gary Sachs chaired the committee that surveyed recommendations of noted experts in the field, and the result is truly an expert consensus document on the current state of the art. The main difference between that document and this one is that the former focuses on treatments that have solid research documenting their efficacy, whereas I also include here treatment approaches that have smaller studies, case reports, or anecdotal evidence to support their use. My feeling is that there is value, too, in having access to knowledge of more speculative treatments, since some patients will not respond to a "classic" approach. I also provide more practical, hands-on information (eg about dosing, drug interactions, etc) than is offered in the more general guidelines.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Effects of Bipolar Disorder Home Site Map Truehope defines bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive disorder by extreme mood changes that swing between depression, and mania. There are times when normal moods are maintained, but these quick, and extreme moods can strike at any time, without warning taking away truehope, causing many problems for those that go through these seemingly random swings. The effects of bipolar disorder can take many forms, it can result in damaged relationships, poor performance in school, or work, it can even drive sufferers to suicide. Truehope estimates that Bipolar disorder affects about 2.2 million Americans over the age of 18, it costs the government millions of dollars each year, and puts an enormous strain on the medical system. Much like diabetes, or heart problems, bipolar disorder must be treated, and managed for many years, and according to Truehope there is no quick cure. As stated earlier those suffering with bipolar disorder have many problems in their personal relationships. Truehope suggests that they can quite often alienate their friends and loved ones because of their mood swings, and their occasional break with reality. Truehope says that those with bipolar disorder often cannot hold down a job, or be trusted with any sort of responsibility, because their behaviour is too erratic, and their moods can change so rapidly.

174. Symptoms Of Clinical Depression Read about the symptoms of, and the differences between major, clinical and manic/bipolar depression and also seasonal affective disorder (SAD). http://www.learn-about-depression.com

Community Latest News What is Clinical Depression? In the normal course of life, everyone has times when they feel somewhat less than happy and optimistic. Although many people attribute their feelings of sadness or lethargy to the onset of depression, it's important to understand that medical professionals have specific indicators that they use to make a diagnosis of clinical depression. When you know more about what's wrong you can make it right. Let's start with the word "clinical." By definition, a condition is clinical if it is directly observed. That is, the professional does not count on a patient's self-report but is more likely to check for symptoms of depression that can be observed and documented. Clinical depression is a phrase used to describe a condition serious enough to require clinical (professional) and possibly pharmacological intervention. Clinical depression, according to medical sources, lasts more than two weeks and is usually not precipitated by anything external. For example, if you've just lost your job and have no money in your bank account, you may feel stressed, anxious, panicked, and unable to function. However, most of your friends and family would reasonably conclude that it's quite normal to feel that way. Although your reaction might match the symptoms of depression, a traumatic event precipitated them and your state of anxiety would not be diagnosed as clinical depression. Clearly, a new and better job would probably end the negative feelings in an instant.
